2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
| Statement I: | In a particular climatic condition, decomposition rate is quicker if detritus is rich in lignin and chitin, and slower, if detritus is rich in nitrogen and water-soluble substances like sugars. |
| Statement II: | Warm and moist environment favour decomposition whereas low temperature and anaerobiosis inhibit decomposition. |

In an ecosystem, during decomposition, bacterial and fungal enzymes degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances. This process is called as:
| 1. | Fragmentation | 2. | Leaching |
| 3. | Catabolism | 4. | Humification |
